Lyrics for Oh God Where Are You Now? (In Pickerel Lake? Pigeon? Marquette? Mackinaw?)

Oh God, hold me now Oh Lord, hold me now There's no other man who could raise the dead So do what you can to anoint my head Oh God, where are you now? Oh Lord, say somehow The devil is hard on my face again The world is a hundred to one again Would the righteous still remain? Would my body stay the same? Oh God, hold me now Oh God, touch me now There's no other man who could save the dead There's no other God to place our head Would the righteous still remain? Would my body stay the same? There's no other man who could raise the dead So do what you can to anoint my head Oh God, hold me now Oh Lord, touch me now
